Graduation etiquette
for grads and guests
Graduation is a celebration that
marks the culmination of years of
hard work and determination. It’s
a pivotal moment in a student’s life
when he or she will be facing the
next great adventure, whether that
involves additional schooling or
venturing into the workforce.
While graduation is a joyous
occasion, it is important that both
graduates and their guests adhere
to the established etiquette that governs graduation ceremonies. Graduation may require that graduates and
their immediate families deal with
certain challenging issues, such as
who to invite when faced with limited seating, and unexpected emotions that may arise when grads don
their caps and gowns.
s(ANDLELIMITEDSEATSWITHCOURtesy. Many schools limit the number
of seats each student can reserve for
guests. This can make it tricky when
there are a number of people who
are worthy of an invite. Explain to
friends and family who you cannot
invite that you would love to have
them there but are restricted by
ticket allotments. Try to have both
sides of the family represented. Usually an invite to the after-party will
thwart any hard feelings.
s5NDERSTANDNOTWOGRADUATIONS
are alike. Schools adhere to different
policies and procedures regarding
graduation. Keep in mind that graduation ceremonies may run several
hours, especially for large graduating classes. If the ceremony figures
to run long, leave young children at
home. In addition, be courteous to
older guests who might not be able
to sit or stand for too long.
s3TICKTOPAPERINVITATIONS-ANY
schools provide students with invitations, but graduates and their families can choose to buy their own.
Paper invitations are more personal
than digital alternatives. Paper invitations also give the impression that
the ceremony will be formal.
s&ORMALINVITESTRANSLATETOGIFTS
Anyone who receives an invitation
is obligated to give the graduate a
gift. Give grads their gifts in person,
even if you cannot attend the ceremony. If you live far away and won’t
be in attendance, arrange for the gift
to arrive as close to the ceremony
date as possible.
s 'RADUATION PARTIES SHOULD BE
all-inclusive. Graduation ceremonies are often followed by parties. If
possible, try to coordinate with other
friends who are graduating so that
parties are not on the same day or at
6 ^ Class of 2016
least not at the same time. This way
everyone who would like to attend
can do so. If friends do attend, The
Emily Post Institute suggests that
graduates explain to their friends
that family will be at the party and
that polite behavior is expected.
Adhering to established etiquette
and displaying common sense at
graduation ceremonies and parties
can make for a more enjoyable day.

Pick a major
in demand
As the cost of college tuition
continues to rise and the job
market grows increasingly
competitive, college students
are giving greater consideration
to their prospects of being hired
before choosing a major.
A 2015 study commissioned
by the National Association
of Colleges and Employers
asked 201 employers, including
companies like Aetna, Macy’s
and Procter & Gamble, which
degrees are most in demand,
even distinguishing between
the most in demand bachelor’s,
master’s and doctorates.
The most in demand bachelor’s are accounting, computer
science, finance, business
administration/management, and
mechanical engineering.
The most in demand master’s
are computer science, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering, information sciences and systems, and business
administration.
The most in demand doctorate
degrees are electrical engineering, computer science, software
engineering, computer engineering, and mechanical engineering.

Take a course in dorm safety
College students have a few
different living options at their
disposal. Many opt for dormitory
living.
Thousands of post-secondary
students pack up their belongings
and move away from home in the
pursuit of an education, and parents want to do what they can to
ensure their college-aged kids are

Managing student loan debt
Many college students are struggling to graduate
without accumulating substantial student loan debt.
Data compiled from Market Watch, an economy
and investing resource, has found that nearly 70%
of bachelor’s recipients leave school with considerable debt. It’s estimated that America’s student loan
debt grows almost $3,000 per second.
The Institute for College Access & Success
has listed the average American student debt at
$29,000.
The burden of debt may cause graduates to
accept the first job offer that comes along and/or
impede their ability to buy houses or make other
large purchases. Only about 40% of borrowers are
paying down their debts after landing a job.
Graduates should realize that many loans only
have six-month grace periods before repayment
begins. Those who feel that student loan repayment
may be difficult can speak to a financial advisor to go over loan consolidation, refinancing or
extending the repayment period to make monthly
payments more manageable.
